If you’re visiting Tokyo, I definitely recommend checking out Tokyo Skytree honestly, it’s way more impressive than Tokyo Tower! It’s much taller, and the view you get from the top is absolutely amazing. You can see the entire city spread out beneath you, and it’s such a cool experience. Personally, I think nighttime is the best time to go. The city lights look incredible, and it’s not as crowded as during sunset or daytime. Sunset can get super packed it’s hard to even find a good spot to look out! During the day there are usually more families and kids around, so it can feel a bit busier. If you go, make sure to visit both observation floors they’re both worth it! And if you happen to go during the day, check out one of the fancy restaurants up there. Just remember, they have a dress code no running shoes or sporty clothes. Dress up a little, like you’re going out on a nice date! Overall, Skytree is a fun and unforgettable experience, especially if you love great views and city lights. 🌃

A must visit landmark in Tokyo! Buying tickets at the self service machines was quick and easy, and the elevator ride up to the observation deck took only seconds. The Tokyo Skytree has two observation levels: the Tembo Deck (350m) and the Tembo Galleria (450m). From the Tembo Deck, you get a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of Tokyo. On clear days, you can even spot Mt. Fuji! Unfortunately, it was rainy and windy during my visit, and I could actually feel the tower swaying a bit, quite an experience! Still, the rainy view of Tokyo, with its neat streets and dense rooftops, had a special charm. The Tembo Galleria features a glass floor section, standing on it and looking down at the tiny buildings below was both thrilling and unforgettable. After coming down, I visited the souvenir shop, as expected, Japan’s packaging design is beautiful and tempting. Hard not to buy something! Right next to the Skytree is Tokyo Solamachi, a large shopping complex with the Sumida Aquarium, restaurants, ice cream shops, Pokémon Center, Kirby Café, and even a children’s play area. Lots to see, eat, and shop, you could easily spend the whole day here!

An unforgettable experience! I visited around 4 PM and watched Tokyo transform before my eyes—from golden sunset hues to a sea of sparkling city lights. The view from the top was breathtaking, capturing both day and night in one visit. Highly recommend this perfect timing for the best experience. Had booked tickets through klook. There are great options for shopping as well.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tokyo Skytree is a Must Visit especially if you’ve already seen Tokyo Tower Tokyo Skytree is easily one of the best viewpoints in Tokyo. The height alone is mind blowing the main deck is around 350m up, with an upper deck at about 450m – so you get a true “miniature city” view of Tokyo spreading out in every direction. On a clear day you can even spot Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Bay, and sometimes Mt. Fuji in the distance. Compared to Tokyo Tower, Skytree feels much more modern and spacious. The observation floors are wider, the windows are huge, and there’s more room to walk around without feeling crowded. The small glass floor section is really cool if you’re okay with heights. A few quick pros & cons, especially versus Tokyo Tower: What I loved about Tokyo Skytree • Insane height & views – you’re simply higher than at Tokyo Tower, so the panorama is on another level. • Modern facilities – fast elevators, plenty of signage in English, and lots of photo spots. • Skytree Town below – big shopping mall, aquarium, and food options, so it’s easy to turn it into a half-day visit. Things to keep in mind • Price – Skytree tickets are more expensive than Tokyo Tower, especially if you add the upper deck. • Vibe – Tokyo Tower feels more nostalgic and romantic, especially at night; Skytree is more futuristic and family-friendly. • Crowds – it can get very busy; booking tickets in advance and aiming for early morning or later in the evening helps. My recommendation: If it’s your first time in Tokyo and you want one big city-view experience, choose Tokyo Skytree for the height and modern feel. If you have time for both, do Skytree for the view of the whole city, and Tokyo Tower for the classic “Tokyo postcard” vibe. Overall, Tokyo Skytree is absolutely worth visiting and a great highlight of any Tokyo trip.

A beautiful landmark of Tokyo! I visited Tokyo Skytree in spring, and the view of the city was absolutely stunning. I also went up to the upper deck, which made the experience even more memorable. I had food at the nearby food court—everything was delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Definitely don’t miss this place when you’re in Japan!

Visiting Tokyo Skytree during Christmas season felt extra special. The whole area around Solamachi is decorated with beautiful Christmas illuminations, so even before going up the tower you already feel the festive mood. The lights are soft, glittery, and perfect for taking photos—almost like walking through a small winter village in the middle of Tokyo. The Skytree itself looks stunning at this time of year, glowing in seasonal colors. Once you take the elevator up, the view gets even better. Seeing Tokyo’s endless city lights combined with the Christmas decorations below makes the whole experience feel magical. If you visit at sunset or nighttime, it’s honestly breathtaking. The observation decks are spacious and calm, and the glass floor is still a fun little thrill. After enjoying the view, the Christmas market stalls and the decorated shops in Solamachi make the visit feel complete—good snacks, cute gifts, and cozy winter atmosphere. Overall, Skytree during Christmas is definitely worth it. The combination of the night view and the illuminations makes it feel romantic and festive, perfect for photos, a date, or a relaxing winter outing.

I was here during the Toy story event. It was super fun as a Disney lover to see the toy story characters and colors integrated everywhere. At the base of the Tokyo skytree is a shopping center. It is very large and it has everything you could possibly want/need, be mindful of not getting lost though, it's confusing to find your way around. The tower itself is absolutely massive, very impressive. What's also super fun is that they offer free printed pictures you can take with uour friends or family. They are very tiny, but you can buy bigger versions. On the day we went, there was a typhoon closeby, so due to strong winds there was a small delay with getting to the top, but it was barely noticeable at all. The glass floor added another fun layer to this experience. I would definitely recommend visiting the Tokyo Skytree, the tallest tower in the world!

The Edo-Tokyo Museum is a fascinating place to visit. You get to step back in time and explore the city's past with incredibly detailed, life-sized replicas of old buildings and daily scenes. It's a wonderful way to learn about Tokyo's history and culture in a really immersive way.

The Edo Tokyo museum was great to visit. The architecture on the exterior of the building is absolutely incredible. The price of entry is also very reasonable. We came around 10am on a Sunday of a holiday weekend in early May and we only had to wait 10 minutes to buy tickets. There are numerous displays that characterize the evolution of Tokyo, including its culture, economy, feudal reigns, etc. There are also many beautiful paintings and miniature replicas of communities that are worth seeing. We were glad to have purchased entry to the special exhibit and it was easily worth the price so buy the combo ticket! We didn't use any audio guides or guided tours but have read that they are good. Plaques have titles of objects in English but explanations are all in Japanese so use guide options if you are a museum buff.

Great museum for all ages! My wife and I went for an afternoon to escape the Tokyo heat and spent about 2.5 hours here. Tickets were 600 Yen each for the main exhibit. You can drop your bags on 1F or 7F (7F also has restaurant and library, 1F has cafes as well). The miniatures really show detail and such a small scale over a large area. You travel through the past couple hundred years of Tokyo in a very engaging way.

May 2019 my visit to the museum!!An amazing museum of Edo period (From ~1500 until ~1800 year) Incredible and infinite exhibits... They presented life in different aspects of daily life in Japan, There were also many models with the structure of an Edo period area!! Also incredible were the buildings and the figures of people in real dimensions that presented the routine of the time!! I also loved the interactivity they provided.... I remember there were 3 small rooms with how the lamps evolved, it was a real revolution every time... Great experience! I should emphasize that the museum was an architectural epic, spotlessly clean and there were several ways to tour!!Thank you Japan... Unforgettable experience from the look of the building, the perfect organization and tour even the souvenirs I bought were wonderful....!!

This is one of the best museums I have ever visited. We learnt so much about the history of Tokyo and Japan. With replicas of so many different architectural structures, it is fun and educational. Spare some 3-4 hours for this place. Also there is a cool Japanese version of magic tricks show performed by every hour.

The entry ticket is 600yen till today. The Museum is has two portions, one is Edo period and the another portion is how the Tokyo is formed after Edo to current period. The artwork was simply mind blowing, even the small details were perfect, all are miniature product of old Japan within their residential areas, cars, clothes and how westernisation has established in Japan and many more. It is totally worth the visit, people who love history and who don’t like history will like these art works, kindly pay a visit you don’t regret.

Very impressive museum with lots of ancient Japan historic exhibition. Very unique long and high escalator straight up to the 6th floor.They provide the translation device under a deposit which can claim back, easier for us to understand in depth of the story behind. Very caring place as they even provide free drinking fountain to public inside the museum. I spend 4 hours inside the museum but still have not finished the museum exploration.

If you are into cute items, the mall has good selection of cafes, sweets and anime products (including Medicom/Medicos action figure). Pokémon center is less busy compared to Ikebukuro, when we went in Oct, there was ongoing oktoberfest. At floor 4 near Jump and Pokémon there is a store selling fresh strawberry and coffee milk which we really like, including Yuzu Powder/Salt which is pretty rare to find.

This is my first mall experience in Japan. My child asked to go to the mall, and it turns out there's a Tokyo Skytree here that attracts many tourists. The mall has a concept with quite a few open areas, but there are also many great shops inside

The World Beer Museum alone, makes it worth a visit, with over 100 taps of beer Retain your planetarium ticket for a discount

There are two observation areas on 30F and 31F which are free and open to public. They offer great views of Tokyo Skytree and the cityscape. This place wasn’t crowded when I visited before sunset. Would recommend giving it a visit.

Great mall with lots of shopping options and even a walk in optometrist! We visited during a beer festival, so there were also German food stalls outside and we had a lovely meal

Tokyo Solamachi is a shopper's paradise. This bustling hub offers a treasure of Tokyo's latest trends, from fashion and souvenirs to delicious eats. With Asakusa's historic charm as its backdrop, Solamachi is the perfect blend of old and new Tokyo.

Love this town ❤️ Tokyo Solamachi is a shopping, dining and entertainment complex at the foot of the famous Tokyo Skytree. It has more than 300 shops and restaurants.

Very hard to get tickets, but if you can, GO! A real Japanese experience. The whole time, only saw one 'gaijin' who wasn't with us. Keep in mind that if you book a 'box' for six, it most comfortably seats 4 and you are sitting on a platform. You can bring F&B (sold on site) and you MUST head down to the basement for chanko - the sumo stew. It's a cheap bowl but definitely part of the experience. Also visit the Sumo Museum on site. It's one room and a 15 minute walk through, so you won't miss too much of the action! Come early and stay to the end! The action (and fans) get more intense towards the end of the day.

We were lucky – we managed to attend a real sumo tournament, and not a demonstration match for tourists. This is perhaps the most powerful impression of the trip. On the one hand, the tournament is a bright part of Japanese cultural traditions, on the other – proof that strength, tenacity, athleticism and even grace can coexist in an “unathletic” body. I have much more respect for Japanese strongmen than for slender office workers puffing in gyms after work. By the way, one of the best sumo wrestlers in Japan is Mongolian, so there is enough room for everyone in this exciting fight.

Great pleasure to see Sumo wrestler with my own eyes, Ryogoku Kokugikan Sumo Arena is a thrilling dive into Japanese tradition. Just steps from Ryogoku Station, this iconic venue hosts grand sumo tournaments in January, May, and September. The atmosphere buzzes with taiko drums, colorful wrestler entrances, and explosive bouts on the elevated dohyō. From affordable second-tier seats, every clash—from scrappy lower divisions to top-tier titans—is gripping. The free Sumo Museum offers historical context, while chanko nabe and beer fuel the fun. Accessible, with wheelchair options, it’s a cultural must-see. A vibrant blend of ritual and raw power, Kokugikan earns five stars—unmissable for any Tokyo visitor.

Great experience and very nice venue. Got to see the retirement of one of their famous wrestlers and it’s such a great way to see the Japanese sumo culture. Must visit for anyone visiting Tokyo. Highly recommended

The Ryogoku area in Tokyo is practically synonymous with sumo wrestling. It’s the heart of Japan’s sumo culture and tradition. Ryogoku Kokugikan (Sumo Hall): The main sumo stadium in Japan. Three of the six annual Grand Sumo Tournaments (honbasho) are held here — in January, May, and September.

Excellent cultural place. Not limited to Sumo tournaments as it was the venue for an anniversary concert by a popular japanese math rock band, Toe.

Visiting from the U.S., this was my first time experiencing sumo wrestling—and I was surprised by how much I loved it. The Ryogoku Kokugikan hosts major sumo tournaments three times a year and is just a short walk from Ryogoku Station, making it super convenient to get to. Even though I was seated pretty high up, the view was fantastic. The layout of the stadium makes it easy to see the action from almost anywhere. I did notice a few people using binoculars, which might be a great idea if you want to catch more of the detail up close. We arrived around 3:30 PM and stayed until the end around 6:00, and honestly, time flew by—I could have stayed longer. The energy of the crowd was electric, and it was especially cool to catch glimpses of the wrestlers before and after their matches. I really wish I lived closer so I could come back more often. It was a truly memorable and unique experience!

I visited this aquarium over the weekend with my girlfriend during our trip to Japan. While we truly enjoyed seeing the adorable little penguins and the vibrant goldfish, the overall experience fell short of expectations. The facility itself is quite compact, and the number of exhibits feels limited, especially when considering the relatively high ticket price. In terms of value, it may not offer as much as other aquariums of similar cost. That said, there are a few highlights. The beautifully displayed jellyfish create a calming and visually stunning atmosphere. Additionally, the location is extremely convenient—perfect for those already planning a visit to Tokyo Skytree. A pleasant stop if you’re in the area, but perhaps not a destination worth prioritizing on its own.

Spent a few hours here while waiting to check-in to our hotel and it was a fun time! Place is kind of small compared to other aquariums I've been to... but i think it's still worth it because of the penguins and jellyfishes!! Especially loved the display of the life stage of moon jellies! Gift shop at the exit also has tons of items you can buy as souvenirs!

Visited Sumida Aquarium inside Tokyo Skytree Town on a breezy afternoon, and it felt like stepping into an underwater dream. The place is modern, sleek, and surprisingly peaceful despite being in such a busy spot. What really makes it special is how close you can get to the tanks—no crowded barriers, just glass and glowing blue light wrapping around you. Even if your kids don’t understand Japanese, they’ll love it here—most of the exhibits are visual and interactive, from the elegant jellyfish drifting like slow-motion fireworks to the playful penguins splashing around in their open-air pool. The layout flows beautifully, with soft lighting and gentle music that make you want to linger at every corner. There’s a small café where you can rest with a Skytree view, and the souvenir shop has some of the cutest ocean-themed gifts in Tokyo. It’s not the biggest aquarium, but every detail feels thoughtful and calm—more like an art gallery of sea life. Perfect for families or couples looking for a relaxing, beautifully designed aquarium—especially convenient if you’re already visiting Tokyo Skytree!

Wonderfull place. Many different sea and ocean species. Very good placed Aquarius. Many lovers meet there for a date! You may be not decided but honestly you wont regret if you try it! I even had more fun than at other attractions, or shops there. For me just bullseye!!!

Wonderful aquarium. I thought about not attending at first due to the size of the aquarium and cost. I thought, for the price, it may not be worth the amount you can see. I think I spent about half an hour here, but it was amazing! The seals were fed and could perform actions for treats. The fish and garden eels were very cute. The penguins were happy and swimming around. I definitely recommend coming here if you have the time.

I visited this aquarium with my siblings, brother-in-law, second mother and nephew and it was worth the money! We visited on a Friday and it wasn't crowded. We mostly stayed and watched the big aquarium as it's so relaxing. There are other fish and aquatic animals to see! I highly recommend this with family especially with kids that love sea creatures.

Beautiful! This was an after thought when we got down the sky tree and in my opinion it was better. I have never seen so many jelly fish in one place. It wasn't crowded, you were not rushed to go through the whole thing. Overall a great experience.

Great views of the city! A fun way to have a beer and see the sights. It was extremely busy when we went and the wait was about an hour for two people. The food menu is small and they only serve snacks, like cheese platter and olives. The drinks were reasonably priced and the sitting area was small enough that you were able to see the sights without much obstruction. A great idea for small groups, just be prepared for the long wait!

Came for the view and ended up in a line that felt like a mini festival. Totally worth it. The building is striking, the skyline is gorgeous, and everyone is here to eat and soak in the scenery. Tip: come early to skip the long wait and aim for a window seat. Once you are up there, it feels like stepping into a postcard. I left with a happy mood and a very full camera roll. Would queue again.

I went around 1230pm on Sunday and the window seats are all taken. But people don’t tend to sit there for too long and u still can see the view quite well from other seats too. Amazing beer, great view, just had a great time there and will definitely come back.

We visited the Asahi Super Dry Hall and had an amazing experience. The beer was incredibly fresh and flavorful—exactly what you’d expect from Asahi! Enjoying a cold glass while taking in the stunning view of Tokyo and Senso-ji made it even better. The atmosphere was great, and it’s a perfect spot to relax after exploring Asakusa. If you’re a beer lover, this place is definitely worth a visit!

The view is exceptional, but the food servings are extremely sad. A few tiny pieces of cheese with four saltine crackers and two small beers was over 3,000 yen. The seating is also very limited, only perhaps 20 to 25 seats, with several of those nowhere near the windows, so go with a small group or the wait will be immense. Go there for the view, but don't go there expecting anything more than that.

The view is amazing from the top of the building. You can enjoy the beer with snacks as well as magnificent view of Skytree as well as city. Recommended if you love beer and view. Beer testing also available and prices is reasonable.

Cool place to go for a drink with a view at the Asahi Headquarters. We went mid afternoon and waited about 10 minutes for a seat. The floor with the lounge is a bit dated, reminded me of an older hotel in Vegas, but we were just there for the view anyways.

Great building, but be aware the prints are small, as is the information on the wall, I had to peer in hard! The museum was busy so waiting and scrumming is not uncommon. Staff very friendly and realising that there is a lot more to Hokusai than the great wave made it worthwhile… the 7 meter scroll painting is just amazing, as are the thousands of sketches that he made. Worthwhile visit, happy I went.

Very interesting experience. I really enjoyed learning more about Hokusai and seeing his art in display. Fair warning for those coming, the art on the third and fourth floor is mostly replicas. The museum doesn’t hide this fact but some might be disappointed in this. The third floor had this really cool section where you could browse through replicas of Hokusai’s sketchbooks. I would have taken more pictures but they have a pretty strict policy on no photos.

Quick 10 minute walk from Ryogoku train station. The museum is located in the suburbs. There is a sold collection of Hokusai’s artworks. Entrance fees are 1500¥ per adult. You need to give yourself a good hour of time to see the works.

A must-see museum for an internationally renowned artist. An interactive tour explains the process of printing woodblock prints. Temporary exhibitions feature works by Hokusai that you may never have the chance to see in your life! A stunning reproduction of Hokusai at work takes you on a journey through time.

Loved this! Really small but easy to lose 2 hours viewing! Loved the interactive features and details and proper demonstrations into techniques, truly fascinating. The basic exhibit you go to see is small and comes at a very good price. But its worth it to get the full experience tickets. It was wonderful seeing stylistic developments over time and seeing what was his focus in his works over different periods and how his work changed. Inspiring!

Must visit for art lovers. Although the most popular paintings of Katsushika Hokusai isn’t presented here there are more beautiful works from him and his daughter as well as other artists that affected Hokusai’s style over the time

I visited here in May 2025, and it is a fantastic museum with tremendous national, cultural, educational, and aesthetic value. Great insights into the historical backstories and contexts which helped shaped his prolific artistic output. If you love the iconic Great Wave, then you will love finding out much more here. I would definitely pay for a return visit and I hope I can see it all again some day 🌊🇯🇵❤️

Pros: • Peaceful oasis in the heart of the city • Beautiful landscaping and serene atmosphere • Great spot to relax between attractions • Easy to access during a short walk Cons: • Not a large garden, more of a quick stop Former Yasuda Garden was such a lovely surprise during our day in Tokyo. Tucked away in a busy area, it offered a peaceful and relaxing break from the city bustle. We stopped here on a short walk between attractions and were so glad we did. The landscaping is beautiful and the atmosphere is calm—exactly what you need to recharge. Highly recommend this spot as a quiet respite during a busy day of sightseeing.

Former Yasuda Garden is a peaceful and beautifully landscaped garden tucked away in the city. It’s not very large, but it’s carefully maintained and offers a calm atmosphere with a central pond, stone bridges, and traditional features like lanterns and stepping stones. The reflections of the trees and sky on the water are especially pretty. It’s a lovely spot for a quiet walk or short break from sightseeing, and you can also enjoy nice views of the nearby Ryogoku area. Free admission makes it even better — a hidden gem worth visiting.

Nice garden and I would definitely go if in the area, but wouldn’t make a trip just to see it. Very well maintained and pretty spot. It was fairly busy on a weekday in November. Probably much better with fewer people. If quieter I would suggest grabbing a bench and enjoy.

Beautiful green space amongst the buildings. Clean and well presented with fish and turtles all around. Stone path with rock steps go around the pond with stone bridges to cross, easy enough to push a pram. Children and adults loved it!

Lovely green park with a big pond with lots of turtles. You can spend an hour or so here enjoying the sceenery and the animals.

Beautiful park in the middle of the city, we also found a particularly friendly turtle that we decided to call Mochi. If you sit by the pond it will come and check you out.

Incredibly beautiful little garden. Oasis of peace within Tokio. It opens at 9am.

They lure you in with a picture of a very comfortable seats, while they are in limited number of 3 (!!) for the room for about 100 people. The show ( Arabian nights) was boring, there was no storyline, narrator was too loud. I couldn’t use my English audio translating without risking hearing damage. The seats were uncomfortable and the screen was blurry, like low quality streaming or when you don’t put your 3D glasses. Total waste of money.

Loved it! There are 6 different shows currently and I got to see 2 of them. They have regular seats and 3 special big sized seats which were amazing (they need to have a reservation) Both shows we're about 1 hour long. This is my first time going to a planetarium and this was spectacular, I will always remember the special memories this place gave me. If you are visiting Tokyo I recommend this if you love outer space 🌌

Really bad experience for English speakers. The Japanese is really loud and you barely hear the English translation. Also not very informative and doesn't show a lot of stars

It was a stressful experience. Did not enjoy mainly because the staff is rude and military like discipline is expected from paying customers. The quality of the show was sub-par. We visited with a kid who understood and stuck to the "be quiet" mantra. Because he had a English interpretation headphones, there was a section in between which asked if we are enjoying the show so far. And the kid involuntarily blurted a single, not too loud "yes". Within half a second the staff pounced upon us and rudely asking the kid to be quiet with exaggerated expressions and body language. And basically stood near us for the next few minutes to ensure compliance. For the rest of the show we were stressed and could not focus on anything. Oh and by the way, in one of the sections it translates the greek word Ceres (grain) to Serial (as in breakfast Serial) but the correct word is Cereal. If they expect military like discipline, they better ensure kids are not allowed. They might go bankrupt seeing that it's a planetarium, but they will have pin drop silence which appears sacred to them.

The weather was cloudy. We asked if we could still see the view, they said yes — but in the end, there was nothing to see

Located on the 7th floor, shows run all day. Earbuds available if you don’t speak Japanese. Staff is very kind and patient. Show was great. Came out one show and bought a ticket for another.

This is my first time visiting a Planetarium. For those who don’t know what a planetarium, it is kind of Theatre setup where they will display short movie with many themes focusing on stay planets and so on. The screen is above us and the chair is tilt-able up-to certain angle where you could cover the hole screen, the projector is placed at the centre and in between the seats. No drinks and foods are allowed and the main thing is for adults the ticket fare is 1500yen

Nice community park. As of April 3rd 2025 it’s full blossom. Mostly local people stopped and took pictures. Not many tourists maybe because it was raining. During last weekend from the news it was crowded with hanami events. I could see the Tokyo sky tree from this park. This park was full of Sakura trees. I enjoyed it very much.

Lovely atmosphere when we walked through this park on a Saturday morning. Families enjoying their time together. Friends playing games. People relaxing on benches. A person praying at a shrine. A game of baseball being played. Lots of children using the playground.

Nearest park to Tokyo Skytree. Kinshicho is mostly Japanese local, compared to other areas here you don’t see a lot of tourists so the good part is it is peaceful and less crowded. During Sakura season it is a perfect spot for picnic.

When I visited, it was a rainy day with a gentle drizzle. Despite the weather, we were able to witness the breathtaking beauty of the fully bloomed cherry blossoms! Although the park is relatively small, the cherry blossoms are simply stunning!

A nice park nearby the skyrree area. Fair in terms of size. A large play ground and wheelchair accessible Many places and spots to sit down and relax. Some sport spots are there like baseball and tennis. Toilets available and a nice water fountain in the middle. Close to train station

Beautiful park. It was Summer midday-ish when we were passing by. Can imagine the full use of the park and the beautiful nature.

"A park where you can see the Sky Tree." There is playground equipment for toddlers to elementary school students, and it is divided into two zones depending on the age of the children. There is also a sandbox, and the park is spacious and well-equipped for a park in the city of Tokyo. It is easily accessible from the station and commercial facilities, and there is a direct connection from the Hanzomon subway line exit and an elevator, so strollers can safely access the park. A long slide is recommended for elementary school students. It was renovated and cleaned last year. Parking: No

Some powerful monuments are if interest. And the adorable cat the size of yokozuna if you manage to spot it. :))

Beautiful venue! I came for a cultural event, it was great.

1st time tobe here

A buddhist temple in Ryogoku. There is Ryogoku kokugikan, Ryogoku sumo hall, on the other side of the railway. The history of sumo in Ryogoku area started from this temple in 1768. There is also a tomb of Nezumikozo (a Robin Hood like person). Since he wasn't captured by the authorities for a long time, there is a myth that scrape his tomb stone and keep it. Then it will bring you fortune in gambling. Since so many people have scraped his tomb stone, today there is a another stone which you can officially scrape it.

Beautiful experience in Tokyo. While we were visiting there was a small ceremony going on which was very interesting to observe and deeply moving

Nearest to the Sumo HQ. Lots of connections.

Important temple for different reasons. Budist Temple and several places to pray for your pets!

Next to the train station. Absolutely amazing museum! Ultra kind staff, low price, not many visitors. Super interactive ans very recommended for kids and their nerdy parents. A few times per day the train driver will sit inside the steam train and pull the whistle as well as activate the wheels - very nice experience. ¥200 per adult and ¥100 per kid - by far the best museum I have visited so far in Tokyo.

If Japanese isn't your first language, you'll struggle to read anything in here. That being said, there's plenty to look at. I'd say you would probably spend a few hours here, it's not an all day visit. Worth going to though.

My husband really wanted to go here and it was a really fun experience! There were tons of trains to look at, all signs had a scannable QR code for translations, and there was even a viewing window to see the local trains go by. Highly reccomend it!

Brought my kid to this museum because he wanted to learn about train. The exhibition hall was not huge but there are so many interactive exhibits! There was even a "show" where the train captain "ride" the train showing the wheel movement! We chanced upon this museum since it was close by. Worth a visit and the ticket was so affordable!

Very fun museum! First of all the entrance fee is very cheap. Which made it feel like i was entering for free! A lot of fun exhibitions like flipping over a point machine / railway switch or controlling a pantograph and switching on a train's main circuit breaker and see what happens when the "Maskon" is set to power. The staff was also very helpful, specificly with the simulation. They warned me about the oncoming speed restrictions during play. It looked like they enjoyed seeing a foreigner enjoy the simulator! I can reccomend!

It is comparable with tokyo metro museum where the exhibition is really informative and engaging. The simulators and diorama are really fun to play with. All of the exhibition are well kept though the lighting may be dark for some but that gave the feel of old time-y place

Small but surprisingly detailed museum, with lots of great exhibits, simulators and models that are perfect for any train geek. This even puts a lot of the larger museums to shame! The staff are incredibly helpful and informative, and there's a very well-stocked gift shop for souvenirs.

Nice spot, a little quieter than nearby park, and worth a stop if visiting area. Did not do interior museums, however some displays outside related to great earthquake. Museum building is quite imposing and really fits its purpose as a memorial to those who lost lives in earthquake and bombings in Tokyo.

I recently visited Yokoamicho Park in Tokyo and was truly captivated by its breathtaking beauty and magnificent temple located at its heart. The park boasts a well-thought-out design, featuring a splendid arrangement of trees and a charming fountain. The pathways are meticulously maintained, providing visitors with a clear and delightful route to explore the park. Additionally, convenient toilet facilities are available for the comfort of visitors. I highly recommend taking a leisurely stroll through this enchanting garden, as it offers a truly enjoyable experience and showcases the epitome of natural elegance.

Lovely park with thoughtful memorials to past tragedies. It is a privilege to walk here and see the respect paid to those who suffered in the past, while also witnessing the resilience of humanity as families play happily on the playground. The flower displays are always a treat to behold and the whole park is thoughtfully arranged.

It is free to enter. Not everything is translated to English but worth the visit

Yokoamicho Park is a unique place of remembrance that commemorates those who lost their lives in the Great Kanto Earthquake and World War II air raids. It includes a memorial hall, a monument and a museum for remembrance. It is not a common tourist attraction but is recommended for those who are interested in history.

This is a nice park set in the middle of the city. It is not massive in size but does have have things to look at. Although, it doesn't have much vegetation, it does have enough to make you escape the business of the city. There is a Peace memorial, a small Japanese garden, and some very cool toad-like sculpture monuments that are worth checking out. This park can be done in thirty minutes but you need more time to enjoy the finer details. Overall, a great small park with many benches to enjoy oneself but be aware, this park has no grass so might not be very appropriate for the little ones. It is recommended that you go into the temple because you learn so much about the park's history.

Stunning place, peaceful.

Day or night, sunny or rainy, the view is gorgeous! We highly recommend allotting two days and two nights to be able to explore the entirety of this very long walkway and see different sights of the cherry blossoms and Tokyo Skytree. Breathing in some fresh air and watching boats pass by while taking a stroll is so relaxing. We would love to come back here. Tip: Lanterns light up from 6:30pm to 9pm. It's worth enduring the cold for the spectacular night scenery.

A short walk from Sensoji temple is another city attraction, the Sumida Park River Gallery a scenic urban oasis along the Sumida River. This place offers both locals and tourists an escape from the city’s busy pace with a mind blowing unique refreshments. The park is renowned for its beautiful cherry blossoms in spring, which transform the riverside walkways into a soft, pink landscape that’s perfect for flower viewing (hanami). Alongside the natural beauty, the park also a river cruise to enjoy the landmarks in a different perspective. This river part features curated art installations and structures, creating a unique blend of nature and urban culture. The "River Gallery" concept allows visitors to engage with art while enjoying the park's serene environment. The views of the Tokyo Skytree are breathtaking, especially at sunset when the city’s lights begin to reflect on the water. Besides its aesthetics, the park has been designed thoughtfully with seating areas, clean pathways, and small open-air cafes, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and social gatherings. Overall, Sumida Park River Gallery is an excellent blend of nature, art, and urban design, offering a peaceful retreat with a cultural edge in the heart of Tokyo. Spare some time here to experience the uniqueness of the japanese way of life

Pretty river views at night and quiet. Nice background views of Asahi HQ and Tokyo Skytree.

Spent our last day in Tokyo walking along the Sumida river. Was great to relax and take in a less crowded aspect of Tokyo. Taking a leisurely walk through the park areas along the river and observing the local people going about their day was a treat. It was obvious that there were things in place in preparation for upcoming Cherry Blossom season and we were lucky enough to get a small glimpse into their beauty.

Amazing views, very quiet area at night and it was breathtaking!!!

Really nice place to walking and jogging along side the river. There are benches to relax and enjoy the brezee air. The location is near from the Sumida Park, Tokyo Skytree, some train stations, and Asakusa area. You need to walk across the bridge and view the wonderful and amazing scenery.

Wonderful place to walk in Asakusa. Early morning walks are nice but the place really lights up (pun intended) at night. If you ever have any reason to stay in Asakusa, this river has to be one of the main ones.
